In this study, experimental and analytical studies were carried out to observe the phenomenon of aerodynamic throat formed according to the primary flow and secondary flow momentum of the ejector. The equilibrium interval of the aerodynamic throat, which is the main variable of the ejector performance, was observed through the experiment using the cold flow experiment and the analysis using FLUENT. Performance characteristics were investigated by the change of the primary flow rate and the throat diameter of the ejector cylinder. As a result, the performance of the standard ejector was confirmed to be within the range of 0.33~1.167(off-design/design) and cylinder throat diameter range of 1~1.17(off-design/design area ratio).

In this paper, the performance characteristics for newly developed ejector refrigeration system, which is that the part of saturated vapor from liquid-vapor separator after ejector expansion process is entrained in ejector, and the saturated liquid flows in the evaporator and compressed with the rest of vapor in separator, is studied. The reasons of the performance improvement of refrigeration system are that the refrigeration capacity is increased due to quality reduction after iso-entropic expansion process by ejector and the compression work is reduced because of the relatively high pressure of vapor refrigerant before compression process. The comparison results of the ejector system entraining expansion gases with the present residential freezer show that the COP increases to 27.8% maximum in case of the pressure drop to 65% of high pressure of freezer, and to 40.1% for 75% pressure drop of refrigerant R401A. The COP improvement rate with 20%~60% pressure lift in diffuser of ejector is only 2.6%~3%.

This paper performed a numerical study of an air-liquid ejector. An ejector is a fluid-transportation device that spouts high-pressure fluid from driving pipes using the kinetic energy of the spouted fluid and increases the pressure through the exchange of momentum with the surrounding gases of the lower pressure. The air-liquid ejector was investigated through steady three-dimensional multiphase CFD analysis using commercial software ANSYS-CFX 14.0. Water as the primary fluid is driven through the driving nozzle and air is ejected as the second gas instead of ozone in real applications. The difference in performance according to the shape of the diffuser of the ejector was examined. The results provide deep insight into the influence of various factors on the performance of the air-liquid ejector. The proposed numerical model will be very helpful for further design optimization of the air-liquid ejectors.

Ejector-diffuser system makes use of high-pressure primary stream to entrain the low-pressure secondary stream through pure shear action between two streams. In general, the flow field in the ejector-diffuser system is highly complicated due to turbulent mixing, compressibility effects. A fatal drawback of the ejector system is in its low efficiency. Many works have been done to improve the performance of the ejector system, but not yet satisfactory. In the present study, a mixing guide vane was installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A CFD method has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows inside the ejector-diffuser system. The present results obtained were validated with existing experimental data. The mixing guide vane effects are discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, total pressure loss as well as pressure recovery.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) could try to adopt more severe amendment to prevent any air pollution from various waste materials by marine incinerator. This study is to analyse the performance improvement through Ansys CFD about new invented system which has three flue-gas discharge channels and sub-ejector installed in the dischage channel in order to evacuate flue-gas well from the combustion chamber. The results showed that the discharge temperature of flue-gas was below the regulated value of IMO by the multi-channels, and the sub-ejector system installed in the discharge channel was highly effective one to improve the flue-gas discharge ability.

The effects of the physical properties of primary flow on the performance of a supersonic ejector were investigated. Axisymmetric annular injection type supersonic ejector was used for the study of the effects of molecular weight and the specific heat at constant pressure on the ejection performance. Test gases include; air, $CO_{2}$, Ar, $C_{3}H_{8}$, and $CCl_{2}F_{2}$ for different values of gas properties. As the molecular weight and CP of the primary gas increase, the secondary flow pressure increases at the same primary stagnation pressure and this behavior results from the combined effects of molar specific heat or specific heat ratio.

고압의 공기를 노즐을 통하여 가속시켜. 노즐 출구로부터 방출하는 경우 제트 경계부근에서 발생하는 강한 전단작용과 제트 내부에서 발생하는 압력강하로 인하여 주변의 기체가 제트유동으로 유입하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 응용한 대표적 유체기계로 이젝터를 들 수 있다. 최근 이젝터 시스템은 각종 플랜트 시설, 냉공조 시설, 고도시뮬레이션 장치뿐만 아니라 건설장비 등에까지 다양하게 응용되고 있다.(중략)

이젝터-디퓨저 시스템은 고압의 기체를 노즐로 팽창시켜서 얻은 대량의 운동에너지를 이용하여 낮은 에너지를 가지는 주변의 기체를 외부로 배출시키는데 이용되는 유체 역학적 펌프이다. 이젝터-디퓨저 시스템은 작동부가 없고 구조가 단순하여 설치/보수 및 시스템 전체의 경량화에 많은 이점이 있으므로 그 활용도가 증대하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이젝터-디퓨저를 지나는 초음속 유동은 복잡한 충격파 및 난류현상들로 인하여 그 물리적 특성들이 명확히 알려지지 않았다. 특히 이러한 제현상들의 간섭과 전단층의 불안정성 때문에 발생하는 비정상성은 1차 유동과 2차 유동의 혼합작용에 영향을 미쳐, 결국 시스템 전체의 배기성능을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라, 소음과 진동을 발생시켜 시스템의 안정적인 운전을 방해한다.
